See Italy, the eagle of all time, Triumphant, from her coffin’s leaden prison, Soar into freedom, seek the heights sublime Of self-reliance, from those depths new- risen, Stirred by the passion of thy mighty rhyme: Eagle, and pheenix: shrill, sharp flames bedizen The burning citadel, where crested Man Leaps sword in hand upon the Vatican.

The Vesica Piscis is sometimes used instead of the circle, or the circle may be glyphed as a serpent. Time and space and the idea of causality are sometimes represented; so also are the three stages in the history of philosophy, in which the three objects of study were successively Nature, God, and Man. The duality of consciousness is also sometimes represented; and the Tree of Life itself may be figured therein, or the categories. An…
